Evidence-Based Therapy
What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) combines behavior therapy with cognitive therapy and is a short-term, evidence-based approach.
CBT is a practical approach that helps clients reduce symptoms, enhance their quality of life, and reach their goals. It focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, which together impact emotional and psychological well-being. CBT supports clients in three key areas:
-
Identify and manage emotions using effective strategies.
-
Recognize and change unhelpful thoughts that fuel negative emotions and behaviors.
-
Learn new behaviors that reduce problematic thoughts and emotions, leading to a more
fulfilling life.
What Is Dialectic Behavioral Therapy?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) widely used to treat emotional and behavioral challenges, including suicidal thoughts, impulsivity, and disordered eating. It is effective in settings like schools and medical centers.
DBT combines techniques to help change unhealthy behaviors while accepting where you are now. It teaches that while you’re doing your best, you can also learn better ways to manage life’s challenges. By thinking and acting in a balanced way, DBT helps create a more meaningful life.
DBT is supported by over 40 research studies and is recognized as a top treatment for BPD by the American Psychological Association and the American Psychiatric Association.
Neuropsychological and Educational Testing and Evaluation
Neuropsychological evaluations assess various brain functions affecting learning and behavior, providing a clear picture of an individual’s cognitive, academic, social-emotional, and behavioral strengths and weaknesses. These evaluations help with diagnosis, treatment planning, and recommendations for academic and therapeutic support.
The process includes an intake session, multiple assessment sessions, a feedback session, and a school feedback meeting for children.
Evaluations cover:
Intellectual functioning
Language development
Visual motor and fine motor skills
Executive functioning and attention
Learning, memory, and academics
Social, emotional, behavioral, and adaptive functioning
We also offer consultations to create learning plans and provide evaluations in English, Spanish, and bilingual formats.
